2025 Cultivating Change Summit

​The Cultivating Change Summit, hosted by the Cultivating Change Foundation, is a premier annual event dedicated to fostering inclusivity and equity for LGBTQ+ individuals in agriculture, natural resources, and food systems. This gathering brings together a diverse community—including LGBTQ+ individuals, employees, human resources and diversity and inclusion professionals, employee resource group leaders, executives, organizational leaders, allies, and others—who are committed to creating a more inclusive industry.

At the Summit, attendees engage in thought-provoking workshops, insightful discussions, and valuable networking opportunities designed to address challenges, share best practices, and drive positive change. The event provides a space for education, collaboration, and leadership development, ensuring that LGBTQ+ individuals and allies can connect, learn, and take actionable steps toward a more equitable agricultural sector.

Join us for an inspiring and empowering experience that helps cultivate change across the industry. Whether you’re looking to build relationships, develop leadership skills, or strengthen DEI initiatives, the Cultivating Change Summit is the place to be.
